Badluck 13 Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) This is my very first attempt to actually work with a resin body,I found this at a local car swap meet with donor kit for $24 so I figured I would give it a try....and also my first try with Fotki being with all the issues I have had with photobucket......so I hope I have done this right. Basically it's just going to be a curb side build and still deciding on what type of company/use it will carry when done......if I get this done.....any comment or suggestions please by all means do so being like I said this is my first resin. Hope to get some body color on this thing this week end if all goes right.... Edited October 2, 2016 by Badluck 13
gatorincebu Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Wow! That is a cool body. That brings back some fond memories. I had 63' ford Falcon wagon with the Woodgrain on the sides.I will be following this build for sure ! Be Well Gator

Hope to get some body color on this thing this week end if all goes right.... I used to live in San Bernardino California in the '60's, there was a business called San Bernardino Racing Equipment. All of his personal vehicles where black and always car show ready. He had a shop truck, a Falcon panel, that was black with gold leaf lettering on the side panels with a nice set of mags and had a 289 4speed. Just a thought, but I think a speed shop would be a good commercial type build.
TarheelRick Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Looking forward to this build, I have the same resin body and will be using the Ranchero kit with a small block FORD or maybe a resin FORD 6-cylinder to replace that god-awful BBC. Of course mine is a ways down on the list. Will watch your build with interest.
Tony N Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Mike Great start to a neat build, makes me want to build one also.if you do go small block Ford, the 302 in the Revell 32 kit fits very well uder the Falcon hood.
Badluck 13 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Posted May 22, 2016 Scrapped project......stripped body once and now shot some color on and a whole lot of lint/dirt in the paint....done!.....
gatorincebu Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Scrapped project......stripped body once and now shot some color on and a whole lot of lint/dirt in the paint....done!..... Geez Mike, Sorry to hear that ! i was looking forward to seeing what you were going to do to this one. Be Well Gator
Badluck 13 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 .........Okay I am done whining and I pulled this thing back out of the box and ~Finally~ laid on a decent paint job......so I guess this thing is back on the bench....
kilrathy10 Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Wow....That is a great color for this one.....Very nice clean up, too....

misterNNL Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Great build with a perfect color choice and spot on details.Hope your positive result with a resin body will inspire you to build more.Thanks for sharing.
gatorincebu Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Mike, I know how hard you have worked to get this one done. It is looking really good. Who made that body ? I am thinking I would like to get one. Make a Surf shop truck out of it . Be Well Gator

espo Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Looks great. You brought it back from the dead. What kind of decals are you waiting on ?
carman1 Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Very neat, did the wheels/ hubcaps come with the kit ? P.S. Im glad you did not give up on it !!
Badluck 13 Posted October 6, 2016 Author Posted October 6, 2016 Yeah Troy the wheels/tires are from the Ranchero donor kit and David I have a few choices on decals just not sure which,kinda leaning towards a Plumbing co.
